This workshop, designed for families of newly diagnosed children or teens, describes in detail and through real-life examples some of the most common characteristics of AS. It also includes basic information about behavioral issues, parenting strategies, disclosure and school concerns. It offers "first step" help for parents as they begin their journeys as parents of wonderfully quirky, socially awkward, sometimes precocious, often challenging children with AS.
